GALERIST has recently opened with Defne Tesal’s first solo exhibition. Tesal inspires the viewer to ponder ‘sudden ruptures that emerge within the flow of everyday life’. ’ Events often appear within such cracks; intervals in which old meanings begin to dissolve offer a ground upon which a new truth may take root.’ Tesal, born in 1985 in Istanbul works with painting, drawing, woven sculpture, and site-specific installations. She has a MA from St. Joost School of Art & Design in the Netherlands in 2019.
